I am an open-minded, thoughtful person who likes to meet new people, travel and create new memories :)
Learning new languages and discovering new delicious dishes are probably the things that excite me the most :D but I also love the outdoors: hiking, camping, swimming and snorkeling

Since I love animals I am a vegetarian (trying hard to be a vegan, but it's a journey). Nevertheless I do not judge anyone for their way of living, it is just the one I chose for me :)

I am currently studying Chinese Mandarin and Arabic at uni and working there as well. It means that my spare time is very limited but I'd still like to try and fit in some great encounters with couchsurfers :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a more personal and interesting way to get to know the place through the people who live there. Besides I really like to hear people's stories and discover how different and diverse people are in this world. It's fascinating!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like bachata and reggaeton (I know opinions differ on these two :). Other than that I am open to almost any kind of music, my favorite being brazilian reggae, french and balkan pop and I'm getting more and more into cumbia!

Some of my favorite movies are Lucky Number Slevin, The Breakfast Club, The Spectacular Now and the LOTR Trilogy

My favorite book by far is "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink (favorite author in general). I also like classics like "The Great Gatsby" and starting to read more and more literature in Spanish. Particularly becoming a fan of Vargas Llosa :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived for two months in a tent in the Mexican Caribbean

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am interested in any kind of language exchange :) So, if you want to practice English, German or Russian, I'll be glad to help :)
I am currently studying Mandarin Chinese and Arabic, so I'm always happy about an opportunity to practice!
